the probable liabilities of such entity on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured; (ii) such entity is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other
liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business; (iii) assuming consummation of the issuance and sale of the Securities and the issuance of the Guarantees as contemplated by

transaction, and does not propose to engage in any business or transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which such entity is engaged;

(dd) No Broker’s Fees. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with
any person (other than this Agreement) that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any Initial Purchaser for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the offering and
sale of the Securities.

Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any

for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below. 

  
 17 








 (b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Initial Purchaser will, severally and not
jointly, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company, the Guarantors, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15

under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative
specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party is a party thereto) whether threatened or commenced based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the following information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering
Memorandum furnished on behalf of each Initial Purchaser: the information contained in the (i) first and second sentences of the eighth paragraph and (ii) the tenth paragraph, in each case, under the caption “Plan of
distribution” (the “Initial Purchasers Information”); provided, however, that the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the
Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 4(f) of this Agreement as a result of a change in the Initial Purchasers Information, but only so long as the Initial Purchasers had timely provided to the
Company written notice of the change so as to permit the Company to meet its obligations under Section 4(f). 
 (c)
Actions Against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 (each an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding
(including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand against such Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnified Person under subsection (a) or (b)
above (each an “Indemnifying Person”), notify the Indemnifying Person of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection
(a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Person of the
commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Person similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and after notice from the Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to such Indemnified Person under this
Section 7 for any legal or 

  
 18 








 
other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. 

It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any reasonably necessary local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they
are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its officers, employees, agents, partners, members, directors and its affiliates and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors, officers and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Company. No Indemnifying Person shall,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Person unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
 (d) Contribution. If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers
on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the
one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities, on the one hand, and the total discounts and
commissions received by the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Securities under this Agreement as set forth on the cover
page of the Final Offering Memorandum. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount
paid by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Initial Purchaser shall be
required to contribute 

  
 19 








 
any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages
which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective
purchase obligations and not joint. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation
(even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7. 

(e) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this
Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 

8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, by notice to the Company, if
after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date: (i) any change in United States or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls the effect of which
is such as to make it, in the judgment of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, impractical to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in
the secondary market; (ii) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or the over-the-counter market; (iii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (v) any major disruption of settlements of
securities, or payment or clearance services in the United States or any other country where such securities are listed; or (vi) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any calamity or crisis, either within or
outside the United States, that, in the judgment of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the
Time of Sale Information and the Final Offering Memorandum. 
 9. Defaulting Initial Purchaser. 

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase
hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If,
within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period
of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the
Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in
the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Final Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any
amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Final Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the
context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase. 


  
 20 








 (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that
remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each
non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based
on the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made. 

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by
the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds
one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability
on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the
Guarantors, except that the Company and each of the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 10 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7
hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect. 
 (d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any
liability it may have to the Company, the Guarantors or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default. 

10. Payment of Expenses. 

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company and each of the
Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization,
issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer
Written Communication and the Final Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and
expenses of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ counsel, independent petroleum engineers and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of
eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties);
(viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to
potential investors. 

  
 21 








 (b) If (i) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the
Initial Purchasers or (ii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement other than a termination pursuant to Section 8(i), 8(iii) or 8(iv), the
Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby. 

11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and
their respective successors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, members and directors of each Initial Purchaser referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing
in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser
shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase. 
 12. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of
contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this
Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers. 
 13. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement,
(a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted
or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (d) the term “Securities Act” collectively means the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and (e) the term “Exchange Act” collectively means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. 

14. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 (signed
into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective
clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients. 
 15.

Morgan Securities LLC on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

transmitted and confirmed by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Initial Purchasers shall be given to the Representative c/o J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179 (fax: (212) 270-1063), Attention: Geoffrey Benson, with a copy to Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, 80 Pine Street, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Doug Horowitz, Esq.

Company and each of the Guarantors agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and each Guarantor, as applicable, and may be enforced in any court to the
jurisdiction of which Company and each Guarantor, as applicable, is subject by a suit upon such judgment. 
 (e) Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

 ANNEX C 

Restrictions on Offers and Sales Outside the United States 

In connection with offers and sales of Securities outside the United States: 

(a) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and agrees that: 

(i) Such Initial Purchaser has offered and sold the Securities, and will offer and sell the Securities, (A) as part of
their distribution at any time and (B) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Securities and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation
S”) or Rule 144A or any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. 
 (ii) None of such
Initial Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any other person acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities, and all such persons have complied and will comply with the
offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. 
 (iii) At or prior to the confirmation of sale of any Securities sold in
reliance on Regulation S, such Initial Purchaser will have sent to each distributor, dealer or other person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the distribution compliance period a
confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect: 
 “The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or
(ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Securities and the date of original issuance of the Securities, except in accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144A or any other available exemption from
registration under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.” 
 (iv) Such
Initial Purchaser has not and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with any distributor with respect to the distribution of the Securities, except with its affiliates or with the prior written consent of the Company. 

Terms used in paragraph (a) and this paragraph (b) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them by Regulation S. 

(c) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges that no action has been or will be taken by the Company that would permit a public offering of the
Securities, or possession or distribution of any of the Time of Sale Information, the Final Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Securities, in any country or jurisdiction
where action for that purpose is required.
